Welcome to our very first episode of Under the Sheets! This is the show where we talk about all of the hot gossip about your favorite classical music composers. In this episode, we explore english composer Ethel Smyth and her racy affair with (gasp!) Virginia Woolf. Later, we talk about German composer and homewrecker extraordinaire Johannes Brahms and his weirdass love triangle with the Schumanns.
